Re: Red Arrows in Turmoil ?

Oh dear ! Disciplinary issues were traditionally dealt with internally. 'Going public', which feeds the media pirahnas and judgemental (clueless) individuals is often used as an attack strategy by those with 'agendas' either within or without the service.

Callsign RRR824 (ZZ178), no destination on Flightradar.

Re: Ascot 7001 E3D ZH103 Departs

The third airframe is no longer being taken for spares. They are taking the large scaffolding/gantry to service the domes, that's what the C-130 is coming for today (if it appears) and there could well be more visits for other ground equipment in the future. 106 is due out mid afternoon today. Many...
